Chapter 12: Monsters and Demons
"By the way, Xiaochu, why haven't you seen your father and mother?" Lu Shaoyi has always wanted to ask this question, no one is born without a father and a mother.
"My father ......" Lu Chu seemed to remember the sad past, and his expression was gloomy and lonely.
"They were already victims of demons when I was very young. Saying that, Lu Chuchu was a little sad, when he didn't learn to walk, his parents had passed away, and he didn't even have a basic impression.
"I'm sorry Xiaochu. Lu Shaoyi reached out and touched Lu Chu's head and comforted.
"What kind of demon you were talking about just now, is it also a type of demon beast?" Lu Shaoyi shifted the topic to the demon and continued to ask. This new thing in this bizarre world can arouse Lu Shaoyi's curiosity.
"I haven't actually seen demons, but I've only heard of them. Demons have a powerful demon power that is not weaker than demon beasts, and the spiritual intelligence of demon beasts is very low, but the wisdom of demons can be compared to us, and even some powerful demons can transform into human form, and they can disguise themselves as warriors through some kind of demon magic. Lu Chu explained to Lu Shaoyi according to what he had seen and heard.
"What, the demon is so terrifying?" After hearing this, Lu Shaoyi couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
Then, Lu Shaoyi made up in his mind, if the lions, tigers, and cheetahs of the original world, or perhaps the eagles, eagles, eagles, and other birds and beasts of prey all possessed advanced wisdom like humans, and could also transform into human forms and hide them in daily life, what kind of situation would the world become?
Thinking of this, Lu Shaoyi was shocked into a cold sweat, and said secretly: "No wonder this world advocates martial arts, everyone cultivates martial arts, if they don't have strong force, I'm afraid that science and technology have not yet developed, and the human race has been wiped out by demons, where is there such peace as now?"
"The reason why we usually see demon beasts but it is difficult to see demons is because the demons are all driven away in the [Endless Blood Abyss], and there are many powerful martial artists guarding the edge of the [Endless Blood Abyss], and the demons cannot break through the defense line. Lu Chu told everything he knew.
"Suppressed in the Endless Blood Abyss? While Lu Shaoyi was afraid, he had some expectations for demon beasts and demons, after all, everyone has curiosity.
The two talked while walking, and after a few hours, the steep eagle's beak cliff came into Lu Shaoyi's eyes.
The eagle's beak cliff is easy to identify, the rock layer stretches out from the tall mountain, the shape is like the eagle's beak, and under the eagle's beak is the bottomless cliff, so it is called the eagle's beak cliff. In front of the eagle's beak cliff, two large mountains block the way, and between the two mountains is a lush mountain stream.
"That's the Eagle's Beak Cliff?" Lu Shaoyi looked at the cliff behind the two mountains and said.
"Yes, it's the Eagle's Beak Cliff. There are only two roads from here, the first of which is to go around the two peaks in front of you, but it takes about half a day. ”
"So long? Won't you be able to go back tonight?
Obviously, Lu Shaoyi didn't want to go so far.
"Or if you cross the mountain stream in front of you, you don't have to take a long detour, but you will come across the horned antelope, and its nest is in the mountain stream. Lu Chu said that he often followed Old Man Lu to go up the mountain to pick spiritual grass, and he had a good understanding of the surrounding terrain.
"Horned antelope? Is that the four-grade demon beast you said before?" was about to meet the demon beast, Lu Shaoyi was a little frightened, after all, he had not seen the demon beast of this world.
"Hmm. Lu Chu nodded yes.
"We ...... Let's go. After hesitating for a while, Lu Shaoyi took the lead in running towards the dense mountain stream overgrown with grass and trees. With the previous experience of repelling the two men, Lu Shaoyi, who knew his approximate strength, had a little more confidence.
After walking for about a stick of incense, their clothes were soaked by the mist of the mountain stream and the water droplets on the cluttered trees.
"Brother Shaoyi, slow down. Lu Chu suddenly slowed down as he walked, stood on tiptoe, lowered his voice and said softly.
"What's wrong, Xiao Chu?" Lu Shaoyi saw Lu Chu's tiptoeing appearance was unknown, so he simply stopped.
"Be quiet. Lu Chu reminded in a low voice.
"Is it a demon beast that has appeared?" Lu Shaoyi asked softly.
"Well, inside the grass a hundred meters ahead is the nest of the horned antelope. This demon beast is so fierce that even grandpa doesn't dare to provoke it easily. ”
"Then you still called me over?" Hearing this, Lu Shaoyi's face turned cold.
"Didn't you say you were coming?" Lu Chu said with an innocent face, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
"Uh......" Lu Shaoyi was speechless, and after thinking about it, he was indeed coming by himself, and only by taking this road could he return to the Lu family in Tianhuang City before it darkened, and he didn't want to spend the night in the eagle's beak cliff infested with demon beasts.
"Brother Shaoyi, go and beat it up!" Lu Chu urged in a low voice, hiding in place, seemingly with no intention of continuing to go.
"Aren't you going with me?" Lu Shaoyi was stunned.
"I can't beat the horned antelope, and it's a burden to keep up. Lu Chu squatted in the weeds in place, looking like he was waiting for the show to come on.
"This kid doesn't want to trick me, right?" Lu Shaoyi glanced at him, helpless, so he could only rush forward.
"I don't know what the demon beast means, and I didn't ask Grandpa Lu about it in advance, it's really a mistake. Lu Shaoyi walked lightly and kept sneaking towards the dense trees in front of him.
The distance of one hundred meters took half an hour, and Lu Chu was anxious.
Suddenly, Lu Shaoyi looked fixedly, only to see a demon beast with two horns, shaped like a deer, limbs covered with extremely sharp demon claws, two rows of fangs turned out of its mouth, with a fierce expression, but its gaze was blank, it fell to the grass on the ground, and a pool of blood that had coagulated extended from its belly.
"Dead?" Lu Shaoyi's original half-squatting and sneaking body suddenly stood up straight.
"Xiao Chu, come here, the horned antelope is dead. ”
"Dead, so fast?" Lu Chu poked his head out with some suspicion and looked in the direction where Lu Shaoyi was, but he didn't dare to step forward.
"It's indeed dead, come out quickly. Lu Shaoyi said seriously.
"I'll be there right away. After getting Lu Shaoyi's affirmative answer, Lu Chu finally got up and walked to Lu Shaoyi's side.
"Huh, it's really dead, Brother Shaoyi is amazing, I haven't even seen you make a move, and the horned antelope is dead?" Lu Chu praised.
"I didn't kill it, the horned antelope was already dead when I came, and you can see the blood on its body is all congealed. Lu Shaoyi pointed at the horned antelope.
Lu Chu stepped forward, and the horned antelope was indeed as Lu Shaoyi said.
"Huh, Brother Shaoyi, look ......," Lu Chu stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse of the horned antelope.
"Did you find anything?"
"The demon pill of the horned antelope was taken away. Lu Chu said.
"What is the Demon Pill?" Lu Shaoyi heard a new term and asked curiously.
